Raspberry Pi: Education in action VIDEO

Computing reporter Peter Gothard talks to staff and pupils at Swallow Hill College, where the Raspberry Pi is being used to teach programming skills.

Teachers and school administrators are excited by the ability to demonstrate programming languages to children using such low cost technology, and the pupils themselves enjoy the opportunity to see immediate results from their new skills.

Sometimes, the power of the mainframe is the most cost effective answer. Computing's Peter Gothard puts Computing's readers' questions on the future of the mainframe to IBM's Z13 expert Steven Dickens.
